Diggin’ In the Crates – “Bolero Medley”, Celeste Legaspi

by Leonard

Guilty pleasures and cultural nods aside, Filipino music isn’t just sugar-sweet copy-pop or tribal percussion in 5/5. In fact, if you did into your Dad’s vinyl… you just might find some gems from a bygone era.

In reality, Filipino music has a flamboyant and decadent past and if you dust off those old records, you just might find something you can call a classic.

Rarely, you might even find that someone else has rediscovered it before you did.
